SSTarSN of New York, says the

M2@AM she leads an independent

INK bachelor is a woman, young, un'
INK married, living by herself or with
~ Ia companion like herself, to whom
.ociety by common consent allows an in
dividual freedom never dreamed OF by the
chaperoned girl, and TO be likened only tG
the Bohemian existence of the unmarried
man. The feminine bachelor is usually q
bright girl, and she often comes from the
country. She is fully capable of taking
care of herself, and her numbers multiply
every season.
The feminine bachelor is save for other
Bohemian women stranger in the city,
though her bon cOmardderie extends the
circle of her acquaintance rapidly. She is
an art student, she is learning music or
shorthand. She has literary warnings and
sends her manuscripts to all publishers.
She is on an independent footing, comes
and goes as she pleases, holds herself bound
to no code of pTopriety save her own, and
has induced society to accept her code as
for her az good one as could be. She has
comparatively few acquaintance of the
other sex. Men are apt to like her and she
is apt to like them, but she is too busy to
let the association 90 very far She is not
distinctively blue stocking, like the Bos-
ton old maid. She does not remain single
of set purpose, but is like enough to con-
tinue unmarried through filling her life full
of other things.
The true feminine bachelor is never a
pessimist. She likes New York; she re-
j0ices in her own perfect freedom, and she
diSsipateS IN a bright, innocent, light
hearted way that is more like the jOyality
Of boys and girls than the dignity ct three
decades Of years. The feminine bachelor
goes to concerts and lectures and 10 the
theatre great deal. / have never missed
her on first night She Is always there
and Is the best posted woman on opera and
plays in the city. She comes alone and
she goes home alone and nobody mole3ts
her or makes her afraid.
what makes you look so languid,
Lulu?" asked Mary OF her young friend.
"Why, did you notice it," drawled the
young Miss who was aSsiduously cultiva-
ting 1.-THE languid." Yes" said Mary,
81 saw that you looked awfulIy limp"
and you ought to have seen Lu!u's spine
Stifien up and the haughtyGir che assumed.
That's lust the difference between Janguld
and limp. 1t may be fashionable to be the
former, but the latter never goes with q
woman, although it is Il fashion some men
have.
Many of our country exchanges are Just
showing up with fashion columns in which
they give elaborate descriptions OF bathing
costumes. Little late, boys. perhaps you
are not aware OF it, but the weather is
slightly cool at the seashOre now, Hold
'em for next season.
Girls, here is what an old bachelor re-
marked to the society man the other day.
Look for him: 1T is burning shame for
girl TO lay her powdered cheek against q
mans dress coat when they are dancing.
The powder leaves a stain that will never
come out"
Now that bustles hare become so large
that they cannot well be manufactured of
newspapers some of the leading journals in
the country are running down the hustle.
1t looks very much as if they want to yet
it back to the old size, as the demand for
papers would be increased. Business is
business.
II looks very much as if the American
young man and woman are coming to their
senses at last, and that those who con-
template matrimony will be married in
the fall. June has always been called the
month of roses and marriages and the two
Jingle very well toge Their, hut October is a
much preferable month in which TO he
married.
October, 1857, promises 10 he the month
Of marriages for this year, and the past
week has witnessed several weddings.
while for the near future many more are
promised Aside from the weddings So
cial events have been scarce, but scgera,
enjoyable affairs are on the tapiS for the
coming week.
On Thursday evening Mr.. aud Mrs.
Charles w. Franzheim will entertain their
friends at their elegant residence on South
Front street; Island, aud our society
people look forward to the event with
many pleasuFsahle anticipltioHS.
A number of gentlemen among whom
are members of what WAS once known az
the Island crowd and Others from the
old French and other social OrganiZa-
tons have secured Franzheim's Hall for the
winter, and are having the hall and dress
ing rooms handsomely re-paperad and rem
ovated. II is the Intention OF the Gggani-
zltion to give a series of hops during the
winter, and as the people are very con-
genial, they certainly will have q season
full of enjoyment. The opening hop will
held next Friday evening and PIof. JOS.
Kramer will furnish the music.
1t is q noticeable fact that tie Wheeling
young men who go West and do well ale
not long content TO remain single, and the
last one to take unto himself a char ming
wife is Mr.. Sd. W. s. Jingle, formerly of
this city, and OF course the good wishes of
his many friends here follow him and his
bonny bride. The following account of
the marriage is taken from the st. Paul
Globe OF Friday morning:
Edward W. S. Jingle, associate editor of
the Globe, and Miss Aggie Kelly, daughter
Of Hon, p II. Kelly, we're united in mar
riage last evening at O'Clock at the resi-
dence of the brides parents, No go Hoff-
man avenue, Rev. Father Caillet, of 81.

most intimate friends of the contracting
parties being present. The bride was at
tended by her sisters, the Misses Mamie
and Tina Kelly. while .Tohn = Baker
